Well things are certainly better than they have been in a while. Work is still ticking along with a few interruptions but that is to be expected. I have just replaced the cradle pins on the f68 which was long overdue. The Independence Day holiday is coming through right now so mills are doing various shutdowns and that is a slight hold up but all in all it's still good.
Misty and I finally got the chance to take the kids somewhere after nearly three years of near nothingness. We took them to Santa Claus, Indiana where there is arguably the greatest theme park in the world. Holiday World/Spalshin' Safari has the greatest wooden roller coasters on earth and many other great attractions. The most notable parts are the kid areas and rides scattered around the park, free refreshments all day, patronage that is levels above those who attend any other park I have been to, and last but not least the overall cost of taking such a huge family on vacation. The Hotel stay was MORE than general admission for two days! It is also not far from home relatively speaking. The water park side is real big, full of slides and rides and they have this really cool water coaster. If you ever want to ride that thing ya have to be willing to wait in line because, even with the smaller crowds, everyone wants to ride that coaster again and again.
I recommend anyone with a family to check that place out. We went three years ago and had to come back. We plan on going again someday too. This time I got Misty a shirt with "Holiday Crew 2011" at the top with all our names across the shirt and of course at the bottom the last name just says "And...?" and you know why.
